Client-Centered and CBT approaches for online support

Lisa draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect, and it can help people exploring self-esteem, relationship challenges, or the emotional impact of life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. CBT is practical and skills-focused, and it is often used to address anxiety, low mood, panic, and related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work between therapist and client. Lisa will help assess needs, preferences, and goals to determine whether Client-Centered work, CBT, or a blend of methods is the best fit, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals and therapists without needing to travel, while allowing therapy to fit into everyday life.
